It would be tempting to define Adam Whiting as a diamond in the rough. There is, after all, a pleasing edginess to his playing. A rough and tumble quality surges through his direct and highly original approach to making music. His clear edge comes not from lack of polish, but from an intuitive grasp of exactly when to obsess and when to let go. Listen carefully and you will hear an artist making sophisticated choices every second of the way. The result is a seductive balance between raw and defined. A meticulously crafted, rough-hewn sheen radiates from every track. It’s push and pull, give and take. It’s like life, and it’s irresistible. - Jennifer Foster, WDAV
The classically trained Whiting has a nice knack for weblike fingerstyle fingerings, melancholic melodies and a muted stage presence that nonetheless speaks of his command. Not quite folk, not quite roots, but not a sterile music school machine gunner either. Whiting’s sound is in fact all of the above: Folk in its earnestness, roots in its respectful take and accomplished in its pedigree. - Creative Loafing
